Community: Are You #ProctorBound?

Over the past months, Proctor's admissions team has worked hard processing well over 600 applications for the 2015-2016 school year. Last night at midnight, acceptances were emailed to prospective students who we think will enrich Proctor's community. Congratulations to the newly admitted students, we hope each decides to be #proctorbound!

Proctor has long been a school whose unique identity has been in high demand. This year's application numbers shattered previous highs by more than 40% (previous high in application was 450). Why is this? Has our academic program changed? No. Have we added new off-campus programs? No. Have our faculty all of a sudden become more adept at developing relationships with students? No. Our DNA as a school has not changed. More and more people are simply beginning to realize Proctor's educational model works.

The beauty of Proctor's culture is not believing we have 'nailed it'. We know we always need to keep self-assessing. But rather our strength is in knowing we have a firm foundation through which we are able to further evolve our programs.

We know, both from experience and current research, learning happens best at the intersection of individualized academics and experiential opportunities within a strong, nurturing community. It has been proven time and again by our alumni and it is proven each and every day in our classrooms with current students. Now we are excited to welcome a new class of admitted students to experience the transformative nature of a Proctor education for themselves.

Located in Andover, NH, Proctor Academy is a private coeducational day and boarding school for grades 9–12. Students benefit from a rigorous academic program, experiential off-campus programs, fine and performing arts, competitive athletics, and a wide selection of extracurricular activities.
